The Bellevue Botanical Garden provides a wonderful escape into a beautifully kept wonderland of flowers, plants and trees. The care taken to maintain this garden boggles the mind. There are a huge variety of plant types, all organized logically. Everything is healthy and clean. Don't miss stopping by for a few minutes or a few hours. Well worth your time. The staff and volunteers who keep this garden in shape deserve kudos, as do the donors who help keep it solvent.

We were there early morning and it was almost perfect. A little chilly, a fair amount of mosquitoes and only a handful of others. I wish we'd have had more time to spend there. The house and store were closed but it was quiet and peaceful. The flowers were beautiful as well as the grounds. It was free and the bathrooms were heated and very clean. What a blessing to have in the heart of the Bellevue area.

What a great place to come for a garden stroll in Bellevue, WA. It’s a free admission garden, NO dogs are allowed. There is a small gift shop with various unique gifts. Clean restrooms and water fountain, there is a cute little coffee house/cafe in the middle of the gardens. This is one of my absolute favorite gardens to come for a stroll, so many different areas to explore. You can easily spend 1-2 hours here, bring a picnic and a book for a relaxing warm day. Enjoy!

This is a great place to visit with kids/family, especially in the summer. You can see an amazing variety of plants while walking through their trails. It has a Japanese garden as well. It is a great spot to spend the evening in peace amidst nature. There is a coffee shop and a gift store as well. The garden itself is free to visit, and has ample parking spots.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It doesn't have a playground. But there are plenty of grassy areas for kids to run around. And alot of things to see and learn about plants. The park with a playground however is right down the trail from the gardens. You can walk through the gardens to get to the park.

Would it be possible to have a Docent on June 14 at 11:00 for my Kiwi club?

Linda Igoe | Aug 10, 2022
Bellevue Botanical Garden (Owner) | Aug 11, 2022

I'm sorry, no. Our docent tours have been discontinued for now. We may resume limited tours in July, so if that will work please check back then.

Being an outdoor lighting, Why must you be closed? It's never so packed that people couldn't self monitor and walk through your delightful lights!

If you are asking about Garden d’Lights, canceling this event was a very difficult decision for us. We considered a number of options for putting on the event this year, but none were determined to be feasible. This event is almost entirely volunteer-run and it is not practical or safe to ask our volunteers to manage crowds. We have every intention of returning in 2021. Please also watch our virtual Garden d”lights video on our website: https://bellevuebotanical.org/garden-dlights/. Best wishes. -Darcy, Bellevue Botanical Garden Society
